Fetching Gmail conversations using thread ID or API integration with Zapier

Iam working on a zap where customers send their queries and zapier has to fetch the mail. In case its an ongoing thread it is supposed to fetch entire conversation in gmail. Can this be achieved using threadID. I see it has some limitations that’s why i was trying to oauth into gmail and use python script to do the work. But zapier does not support google auth libraries in its code by python feature. Can you suggest anything? What if i create an api for this job and deploy it in aws. How can i integrate it in zapier?

Transferring files between Notion databases using Zapier Webhooks

I’m working to automate my company’s databases.I have Database 1 and Database 2.Database 1 includes different kinds of properties, and important ones are: Files & Media, and FIGMA file.When new item is added into Database 1, I want new item to be created in Database 2 inheriting properties from Database 1.By default, Notion doesnt support inheriting Files & Media and FIGMA file, so I thought it can be done via Zapier Webhooks.I have set up Zap which catches the Webhook from the Notion, and then created “Create Database Item” via Notion. But I don’t see Files & Media and FIGMA fields in the configuration.What am I missing? Is it possible to be done?

Why can't I find the title and description for my PagerDuty incident?

Hi. I want to create a new ticket on Pylon (customer service ticketing platform) whenever a new incident is triggered on a specific Pagerduty service. The “test” step succeeds for the Pagerduty step, but it seems like something is wrong. When I go to configure the next step (ping API for pylon to create a new ticket), none of the options of input fields from my previous step seem to include a simple title or description. Here’s the pagerduty step “succeeding”. It always shows this test incident and never any real incidents that have actually been triggered on my pagerduty service. There are many input fields that show up in this dropdown, but very few of them seem to have any data associated with them. I wouldn’t expect “Event Data Title” to be empty.  Any idea what’s happening here?

Webhook issue with Zapier: File and form data not accepted by API

Hi all,I am exactly facing the same problem described at this related topic 4 months ago: Zapier Webhook wrongly builds http request when sending both form params and files at once, wrapping all form params in a single param named “data”. In fact, thanks to the author I could verify such behaviour by using webhook.site.I’m also aware there might be a possible workaround by using zapier code so as to perform api call properly and return the response but afaik, this is a bug, and hence, I would like to know (if possible) if there is an ETA for it before trying the workaround. Thank you in advance

Authorize.net API Call giving error: There are multiple root elements. Line 1, position 51.

I am trying to getCustomerProfileRequest from Authorize.net via a Zapier Webhook. I watched this video which was helpful to get me started. However, I encountered a handful of problems: Authorize.net Documentation on getCustomerProfileRequest: https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#customer-profiles-get-customer-profileThe Authorize.net API uses the same endpoint for all requests via POST. https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api. When I select POST. I’m not seeing how I can then tell the webhook to getCustomerProfileRequest. I also get the error code. “There are multiple root elements. Line 1, position 51.” When I select GET, I am not getting an error code but I am getting a magnifying glass that says “No Data Found” The Authorize documentation shows that merchantAuthentication is required in the Header, but the examples on the Authorize.net documentation show that name and transactionKey make up that data. I’m not sure how to get this into the Headers, to avoi

Zapier Integration with POS

I'm working on integrating my c-store's Point-of-Sale (POS) systems with Zapier. We use Gilbarco Passport at one location and Verifone Ruby 2 at another.I'm exploring options to automate tasks like:Receiving transaction data: Automatically capturing sales data from the POS systems. Triggering actions: Initiating actions in other apps (e.g., sending customer notifications, updating inventory) based on POS events.I'm wondering:Does Zapier have any pre-built integrations with Gilbarco Passport or Verifone Ruby 2? If not, what are the best approaches to integrate these POS systems with Zapier? (e.g., using file imports, webhooks, or other methods) Are there any known limitations or challenges in integrating these specific POS systems with Zapier?I'm eager to learn from the community's experience and find the most effective way to streamline my workflows.

Mapping JSON output from coding step to use in a webhook payload

I’ve created a JSON payload that I want to reference in the ‘data’ section of a webhook action. I’ve triple-checked my code to make sure that the output is structured how I want. My issue is that the I can’t map the output in the next step as it’s broken down into smaller arrays.Is there a way to reference the entire output? AI seems to think that there is an issue with the Zapier caching. I’ve tried deleting steps, recreating the entire zap (with new webhooks) and disconnecting/reconnecting the Zap. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How to reference an entire API response in JavaScript

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to leverage the entire response from an API call. My workflow is catch webhook, make a subsequent API call to a database endpoint that has an array of user information, and then use JavaScript to find a matching full name from the initial webhook within the response from the API call in the steps above. I can’t find a way to reference the entire response within the Input Data section of the Run JavaScript in Code element. Any ideas?

Can bundle.inputData be used for data pass-through for entire output payload from previous Zap step?

NEWNow you can use variables output from Zap steps to get the underlying JSON. VariablesRaw Output Step Output Help: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/38445061177229-New-Raw-Output-field-returns-a-step-s-entire-output-in-a-single-valueOLD  Hi Devs and Zapier Staff, I’m looking for an official answer on this topic. Is it possible to use a variable (e.g. bundle.inputData) to do data pass through for ALL of the output payload from the previous Zap step?If so, can you provide a working example? Goal is to pass thru the previous Zap step output payload as the input for a Zap app action without the user having to define the input fields for the action. Seeking functionality that works the same way as this native Zapier functionality:App: Webhooks by Zapier Action: Custom Field: Data Pass-Through? Description: If yes, request data below will be overridden with the raw data from the previous step (you are still responsible for headers though, like Content-Type). Defaults to no. Thanks!

Using Alexa to create tasks and send data to webhooks

I'm trying to create the series of zaps to use my Amazon Alexa to collect data that I can push to web webhooksI know how to trigger the event with the Alexa device. But when I go to the next step to use a webhook it's an action and I need to use a custom action so that I can add in several fields to collect, But the custom action requires me to have a URL for the webhook which is only available if I trigger a catch hook. So I feel like I'm going to catch 22 where I need to catch a hook to get the URL, but that is a trigger not an action.Here's my use case”. I want to be able to use my Alexa to assign a task. Then I want it to ask me1.    The due date2.    the name of the task who it is assigned3.    a task description4.    a task due date. I want those 4 fields pushed into a webhook.From there I will create paths to push this into different other applications like.

401 error when using the retrieve poll Webhook in Zapier

So I’m extremely new to this and don’t really have an understanding of API and how webhooks work.  I try to folllow the directions based on the API documentation for the website (themoviedb.org) and the prompts given by Zapier.  I’m attempting to collect the data via api or popular/trending movies. The TMDB is a website that posts movies, ratings, summaries, etc.  The site requires a login and once I’ve logged in it gives me an API Key and Token. I’m just not sure how to translate that into the “retrieve poll” trigger option in Zapier. Please let me know if I’ve given sufficient information and please explain everything to me as if I were a middle schooler.  Thanks a bunch!

Sending file + other data to my custom web api

Hi! I am trying to send information and a file to a web api that I created. I can update the web api to support this. Basically in zapier I did the following (see screenshot) This is the code to my web api.  [HttpPost] public async Task<IActionResult> Post([FromForm] IFormFile file, [FromForm] EmailData data) { Console.WriteLine(data.Subject); Console.WriteLine(file.FileName); return Ok(); }I can either send the subject info or the file info - it is not allowing me to send both. If I update the parameters in my web api to recieve only the file - and send only the file it works well or if I update the parameters to recieve only the EmailData (which is a class with a property of subject) and send only the subject it works well. I need both values.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!

Troubleshooting JSON mapping issues in Zapier with Python code

I currently have a zap that uses python in code by zapier. This script make an API call and returns 999 values in JSON (1000 is the limit) Trying maintain a real-time updates on values in multiple columns on these 1000 records My API call through code by zapier grabs all of the latest information when it runs.  When I go through the steps in edit it seems to work on the one I use as example When I run the entire zap it gives me the “ no new data” message every single time.  It appears that the script does not actually refresh my API information within the zap when I press run I am not sure it is going through each of the 999 records either When it searches for a record, it add a new record if a match is not found. The the next step I have it updating the information on existing. Is that the correct process to do this?I probably just need to be pointed in the right direction.  Here is a screenshot of the zaps.

Redirecting Survey Respondents to Dynamic URL Based on Their Responses

 I am setting up a Zap to redirect survey respondents from QuestionPro to a dynamically generated URL based on a specific field condition from their survey response.Steps Taken:Created a Zapier webhook (Catch Hook) and successfully integrated it with QuestionPro's webhook. Verified that all survey response fields are being sent to Zapier correctly. Used a Formatter step in Zapier to generate a dynamic URL based on a field condition (e.g., if a certain field equals a specific value). Added a final Webhook step in Zapier to redirect respondents to the dynamically generated URL.The Issue:After completing the survey, respondents are redirected to a blank page displaying a JSON message ( instead of being redirected to the dynamic link){"attempt":"<id>","id":"<id>","request_id":"<id>","status":"success"}. This JSON message matches the "Data Out" response from the final Webhook action in Zapier. It's unclear how to correctly configure the final Webhook Specific Questions:Sho

Hello. I have a sample AI chatbot/agent set up in BotPress Studio.

To do this, I am connecting the bot to Twilio via Zapier so that when I send a message (Hey or Hi) from my personal number to the Twilio Test number, Twilio can send my texts/responses to Zapier, Zapier can send them to the bot, the bot sends back its answers to Zapier, Zapier sends these answers to Twilio, and then finally Twilio sends these answers back to my personal number.The issue I am facing is that while setting up the Zap, i am successfully able to test that the Zapier webhook is sending the test message (Hey) from Twilio to my b

Zoom API (Beta) 401 error not handled correctly

Below is the Zoom API (Beta) request and response. We had to use the API for registering webinar attendees since the action for Create Webinar Registrant doesn’t have a last name field like Create Meeting Registrant which I find to be odd.I understand the API Request is currently in Beta stage and would like to report this as a bug. Ideally the 401 status code should trigger a re-authentication on the Zoom connection or alert the user with a failed message if the HTTP request returns something other than a 200 or 201 response status. Thanks!-Arment
